Scripting Kstars / EKOS / INDI on mac

Hi,

I would like to make some simple scripts for my mount and camera in order to perform some imaging of satellites.

I am using (primary) mac/osx as platform on Kstars/EKOS with raspberry pi (stellarmate) as the remote indi server. I was trying to get the DBUS Kstar interface to work on the mac without success, and looking at the pyindi python library but seems to need to dig a bit didn't install with pip at the moment.

Another option I guess would be to interface via the indi_getproperty and indi_setproperty commands (and make some simple python wrapper).

What is the best way for such scripts/interface - I would prefer to have very simple interface, basically just goto coordinates and take an image of X seconds?

Regards

It seems like dbus is mostly used on linux'es, and not much used for mac. It is possible to install through the "homebrew" system (packet manager) but not getting it (yet) to work.

DBus would be the easiest option. I think Robert can help in this once he's available.
